Over one million users still without mobile coverage or broadband after Storm Eowyn
Briefly

Storm Éowyn has had a severe impact on Ireland's telecommunications infrastructure, affecting approximately 1.4 million users, or 26% of the national telecoms user base. The most severely impacted areas include Galway, Donegal, and Mayo among others. While fixed service users are facing complete disconnections, mobile service users are expected to experience intermittent disruptions rather than total disconnection. Telecommunication companies like Eir and Virgin Media are working on restoration efforts, with a focus on voice and SMS services, as there are still significant numbers of users without broadband access.
The estimated effect of Storm Éowyn on the national telecoms user base was the largest in ComReg's recording history, with 1.4 million users still affected.
Those affected by fixed service failures will likely experience full disconnection, while mobile service disruptions are less likely to lead to complete disconnection.
